The Company may have included certain non-IFRS financial measures in this presentation, including Estimated Remaining Collections (“ERC”), Adjusted EBITDA, Portfolio Acquisitions, Net Debt and certain other financial measures and ratios. These measurements may not be comparable to those of other companies and may be calculated differently from similar measurements under the indentures governing the Company’s and Senior Notes due 2023 and the Company’s direct subsidiary (Garfunkelux HoldCo 3 S.A.)

Reference to these non-IFRS financial measures should be considered in addition to IFRS financial measures, but should not be considered a substitute for results that are presented in accordance with IFRS.

Further, our competitors may define our and their markets differently than we do. In addition, past performance of the Company is not indicative of future performance. The future performance of the Company will depend on numerous factors which are subject to uncertainty.

In addition, certain statements may be contained in press releases, and in oral and written statements made by or with the approval of the Company that are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) statements about future financial and operating results; (ii) statements of strategic objectives, business prospects, future financial condition, budgets, projected levels of production, projected costs and projected levels

  • f revenues and profits of the Company or its management or board of directors; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such

statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict and outside of the control of the management of the Company. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. We have based these assumptions on information currently available to us, if any one or more of these assumptions turn out to be incorrect, actual market results may differ from those predicted. While we do not know what impact any such differences may have on our business, if there are such differences, our future results of operations and financial condition, and the market price of the Notes, could be materially adversely affected. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referenced above. Forward- looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made.

1 On 30th June 2015, the Group acquired GFKL Financial Services AG through Garfunkelux HoldCo 3 S.A. acquiring 100% of the shares in Garfunkel Holding GmbH

  • This presentation captures the trading results of Garfunkelux HoldCo 2 S.A. (“GH2”) – the results

are based on our management accounts and where appropriate, prepared in accordance with IFRS

  • The prior year comparisons presented herein are not directly comparable to the audited consolidated

results of GH2 for the financial year ending 31st December 2015 due to the fact that the results of GH2 include the results of Metis Bidco Limited only from 13th October 2015 (the date that Simon Bidco (an entity within the GH2 group) acquired Metis Bidco Limited). Similarly, the results of GFKL Financial Services GmbH are included only from 1st July 2015 (the date that Garfunkelux HoldCo 3 S.A. (the direct subsidiary of GH2 group) acquired GFKL Financial Services GmbH1

  • As such, the year-on-year comparisons captured in this presentation are based on:
  • The trading results of GH2 for the three months to December 2016, the twelve months to

December 2016 or as at 31st December 2016

  • The combined trading results of Metis Bidco Limited and GFKL Financial Services GmbH for the

three months to December 2015, the twelve months to December 2015 or as at 31st December 2015

  • We have elected to show such year-on-year comparisons as they still provide a reasonable proxy as

to the development in the Group’s trading year-on-year given that only Group funding and some limited operational costs sit in entities above Metis Bidco Limited and GFKL Financial Services GmbH
